. >> i am going to run the most vicious ruthless campaign to dethrone tim kaine for the united statesim kaine who was hillary clinton's running mate was a popular governor in virginia before winning the senate seat. >> it is time we have a senator to support the president. >> tim kaine has been a staunch supporter of the trump russia investigation. >> insinuating the president's family has been involved. >> you think that is a witchhunt? >> i think it is a witchhunt an attempt to stymie the president. >> stewart is a master of blunt talk and political stunts like giving away an ar 15 during his campaign and holding a protest to keep confederate monuments standing. >> harry wiggins the chair of the democratic party in prince william county says he is not surprised planning to run a vicious campaign. >> he is not mainstream. he is negative he has always been negative and he has done a lousy job as the county board of supervisors had -- head. >> before corey stewart runs his campaign against senator tim kaine he will most likely have to run against other republicans for the nomination. i

he's got his sites on former vice presidential candidate tim kaine. stuart says he's the only republican who kain in northern virginia, including battleground counties like prince william and loudoun. he says kain is more focussed on name-calling than improving lives. >>> and ben jealous was endorsed to be the next governor of maryland. sandra says jealous has a lifetime of activism. he will face a crowded field of democrats looking to unseat republican governor larry hogan. it includes baker, richard madeleineo. james shay, alex ross and teacher ralph jaffe. >>> treating childhood cancers with help from man's best friend. why dogs could potentially holiday thold the key for treatment for some types of in my future i'm 26% more likely to develop an irregular i have a 65% higher chance of developing diabetes. and i have a 42% chance of becoming obese. if i develop breast cancer, it's 39% more likely to kill me. i'm at higher risk for depression. i'm not likely to talk about my depression at all. and we all have a 30% chance of developing hypertension.

if we were -- >> the one that we're actually -- or the one that's been proposed by kaine -- >> oh, kaine/flake? i would say two things. one, the "associated force" definition is too narrow for me. i'd at least like to hear from senators flake and kaine why they said that for a group to be associated, it literally has to be part of al qaeda or isis. there certainly seem to be some groups that are co-belligerent fighting along said al qaeda/sieqaeda/iz qaeda/isis. i understand you don't want to go too broadly saying they were associated. that's too broad. the way it's currently drafted part of al qaeda or isis seems to be too narrow. the -- i would add some detention provisions ideally. but the affirmative power to detain, i would certainly balance with certain safe guards. it's a two edged sword. if congress is authorizing the detention of people under the laws of war, there ought to be protections to make sure that the people who are detained are the right people and for no longer that's necessary. i defer to you all on the disapproval provisions. i know the senators worked very hard on

kaine comestim across to me as an unbalanced hothead.or him to take a three stooges meeting with a woman who never claimed to be a representative of the reflections -- public and government or claims to given give any information to the to go to treason from that? it is unbelievable. what a hothead. also, say she may have been a representative of the russian government. what does this tell us? this tells us that the emails that came out with hillary clinton were probably just the tip of the iceberg. they probably have so much stuff with her in the foundation that they could then her anyway they wanted to. bend her anyway they wanted to. let's think for a second that think god, these people were not elected to the highest office of our land. but here is the other thing -- let's settle this. love colin michael lynn, jarrod -- let's call in michael flynn, jared kushner, and trump junior and have them testify. they are begging to testify. the only thing that michael flynn asked for is immunity from frivolous lawsuits. will they do that to hi

what does the flake-kaine bill do? we try to fix three problems with the existing limitless status quo. first, we try to fix, who are we fighting with, by naming specific groups, not perpetrators of attacks. we fix this problem by fixing the associated force definition. it was not contained in the original authorization. it has two components. to be an associated force you have to be connected with al qaeda, isis, or telegram. but you also have to be engaged in hostilities against the united states. it does not authorize anyone connected to the taliban that we will go after them anywhere. but if they are engaged in hostilities against the united states that is the second factor. we try to tighten up the definition of who we are ighting against. we have a listing process where the president actually lists those groups that have to meet both criteria. if congress believes he is listing a group that does meet criteria, we have a disapproval project. that is disapproval project. that is the first issue, who are we fighting

. >> that's not what tim kaine said.vestigation is maybe moving into that direction, which i think is a reflection of the seriousness of what we know so far. we know that the white house has lied. they said that there was no communication between the russians and its campaign. that's actually not true. whether it's just with donald trump jr. but there is also six other officials from the trump administration who had communications with the russians and, in fact, lied about it. and then the second piece is they said that they were not coordinating with the russians. we know from this email that's not true either. in fact, there was an intent to collude if not actual collusion there are a bunch of questions that remain unanswered that i think will get to the question of whether this was treasonous or full blown collusion. one of those questions is what was the nature of the information that was passed along? was there information that was passed along? if there was, walls it the illegally obtained stolen emails that the ru

. >> we'll talk to senator tim kaine, the former vice presidential nominee coming up right here as some republican leaders are also chiming in. >> there is an e-mail from a russian suggesting that the russian government wants to help, that would be very problematic. >>> and good day, everyone. i'm andrea mitchell in new york where we have major breaking news. donald trump jr. facing an expose has released what he says that e-mail exchange with the trump family business associate last year during the campaign. the e-mails make it clear that the trump associate, publicist rob goldstone, specifically offered what he described as information from the kremlin. russian officials quoted in the e-mail saying that goldstone said offered to provide the trump campaign with some official document sent information that would incriminate hillary and her dealings with russia and would be very useful to your father. this is obviously very high level and sensitive information, said the e-mail, but is part of russia and its government support for mr. trump, closed quote. donald jr.'s response, 15 minutes

senator tim kaine said possibly treasonist as well. everyone stand by. showing you live pictures from capitol hill. the top republican and democrat on the senate intelligence committee. just weighed in what they are saying in this exclusive new question is coming up next.

legally, you heard what senator tim kaine said. this, you know, could be close to treason. the argument in the white house is nothing came of the meeting. much to do about nothing is the terminology used by the lawyer hired by don jr. does it matter what came of it or intent matter, legally? >> that's a great question. it's all about intent. in a criminal investigation, the first thing a prosecutor will try to determine is did this person make a mistake or intend to break the law. we have not just a willingness by the trump cam tan to meet with the russians, but almost a hunger for it. they sent their top guys to meet with someone they didn't know who she was. what was interesting to them? the fact they may have information provided to them by the russian government. whatever their story is going to be, we have heard several inconsistent stories about why the meeting took place, they better get the stories straight before they start talking to investigators or congress. just as senator kaine said, they are going to continue to make false statements if they lie to investigat

kaine says 98% have been against it. 2% is for it. >> it should be dead but i don't think we can say it is. they are still working to try to find ways to get the bill passed. >> democrats like kaine are working to kill the bill with impacts like this one. like 9-year-old kay lynn reese of sterling suffering from a says -- from a seizure disorder. the build would cut medicaid by $770 billion in the next ten years. meanwhile, senate republicans attempt to rally support for the bill, president trump this morning tweeting this -- would dare to leave washington without a beautiful new healthcare bill fully approved and ready to go. >> so, two months. >> corun is the mother of 5-year-old dylan born with a rare spinal and respiratory condition. >> it's not something that anyone expects to go through and it's not something that you prepare for. >> it's important for the legislators to understand really who is affected. >> now the republican leaders in the senate pushing for the bill are currently encountering opposition from the moderate and the conservative members of the g.o.p. senator kai

you heard tim kaine there saying he may have committed treason. is tim kaine out in front of his skis, and how will this play into the broader investigation. let's bring back a.b. stoddard, david gregory and jeffrey toobin. jeffrey, is that premature. >> i think any discussion of treason is premature. it involves helping an enemy during times of active hostilities. whatever else you can say about our relationship with russia, which is certainly tense at the moment, we are not in a hot or cold war with russia, and also there is no evidence that -- yet -- that the train gave the former soviet union anything. i just think -- >> or vice versa, by the way. part of the irony here is what donald trump -- what don junior was hoping for, as far as we know, wasn't delivered. >> as far as he says. >> as far as he says and the lawyer says and everybody says. i understand we're taking them at their word on that. >> we do know at least according to intelligence agencies, there were active measures -- it's been a long time since it was the soviet union, since ru

that is why i am a strong supporter of senator kaine's work and senator carver's work. we were just on the floor asking our republican colleagues to join us. the republican legislature in minnesota worked with the democratic governor and made changes in their state. we would like to see that nationally. we have talked about cost sharing and the work we can do with senator shaheen's bill. finally i have a number of proposals that have republican support on prescription drug cost and prices. we owe the american people to work with the republicans, and they owe it to them to work with us. this is our moment. this is our moment. sen. schumer: senator heinrich. sen. heinrich: we have two choices in front of us. we can take one more crack at trying to sabotage the entire health care system and every iteration of these attempts has just been that. every one of them has included undoing medicaid expansions, the most powerful tool we have to fightural hospitals open, the opioid epidemic, or do the right thing which has not been embraced not only by a bipartisan group of governor

i wish tim kaine wouldn't throw around concepts like this. his candidate, the one he ran with, republicans yelling lock her up, she is guilty of espionage, she is guilty of treason. i'm not doing this because i support the trump policy. i'm doing this as aliberal democrat because i believe the law should be interpreted narrowly because we don't like the person. it reminds me of joseph stalin, he said show me the man and i'll find you a crime. people don't like trump or they are saying let's find a crime we can accuse him of. it's not the way democracy is supposed 0 operate. -- not shall is not supposed to operate. he will serve his term and as far as we know he has not committed an impeachable offense. on martha's vineyard where they don't permit republicans. trish: they may not let you into the restaurants soon. thank you so much. let's get more reaction right now with our panel. we have gina louden and ford o'connell. your a lawyer by background as well. professor dershowitz who politically is not aligned with donald trump saying there is n

the reinsurance exchange proposed by senators kaine and carper could do a lot to make the system that are. and senator mccaskill's proposal that in their counties that people get the same opportunity for health insurance makes a lot of sense. this gives away from the ideological fights you are talking about. he --obuchar: in addition across the country the exchanges , senator collins has long been involved in the reassurance issue. i mentioned the prescription drug issues, and that is right for discussion. i have a bill with senator grassley to stop the pay for delay. it is important to him where companies, pharmaceutical companies, are paying off generics to keep their products off the market. or we have negotiations republicans have been open to in the past. we have the issue senator mccain and i have for less expensive drugs from canada. not saying all of these will pass, but giving you an example of the bills i have. there are a number of things that are bipartisan members have been talking about for years, but we have not had the door open. senator schumer has said to start this

i also support senator kaine does with with us here today. senator kaine of virginia and senator carper is bill comes into the health insurance marketplace improvement act to reestablish a federal reinsurance program and by the way, this idea of reinsurance is something that our republican legislature in minnesota just past on the state basis and are supportive of. so i see this as not just some pie in the sky idea. i see these ideas as things that we can work on across the aisle. i just wanted and i talking talking about some of my ideas,y many of which have bipartisan support, again. i filled it and a package of things that we could be working on. a bill that would harness the negotiating power of 41 million seniors on medicare to bring drug prices down. now right now by law medicare is banned from negotiating prices with all of those seniors. think of a better bargain that those seniors could get if their marketing power was unleashed. senator mccain, the colleague of the presiding officer and i can't have a bill to americans to bring in s

we talk to tim kaine. jonathan: "7 on your side" continues to dig for answers to protect your family in light of what happened at the carnivals in ohio. nancy: we discovered lamases in government oversight when it comes to amusement rides. >> what can political leaders do to make amusement rides safer? we talked to virginia's senator tim kaine. >> a tragic accident. i'm sure all 50 states are rethinking what do we need to do to protect people? >> a father's whose son was killed at the fair demands answers. >> whether it is bolts or metal fatigue it had to do with the structure. what caused it? we have to wait to see. >> virginia relies on the local building code inspectors to enforce safety laws. >> i saw the news and it made me wonder if the virginia rules are what they should be. >> there are no government mandates to pass on the urgent safety bulletin to operators. >> that seems like an obvious omission or error. >> we posted the blueprint to show structural flaws on the amusement ride on website wjla.c

senator kaine was tearing up just hearing about this.one of the moms before this event started about her experience with her son who benefited greatly from provisions in the affordable care act capping coverage for how long you can be on care, and also the importance of medicaid and essentially saving her son's life. take a listen. >> when he was 15 months old, he hit his lifetime maximum for his insurance policy, and that was $2 million. and he lost his insurance overnight. >> at 15 months old. >> at 15 months old. and medicaid picked up the difference for us until i got him back on my insurance at work. but they pay for the things the insurance doesn't pay for. >> reporter: and, chris, i think it's easy to be cynical about events like these. but for the argument that these families are making and that senator kaine is making, that for anyone who wants to say, oh, this is isn't xs and os, those people should have to come meet and talk to these families before they go out and say there won't be cuts, there won't be reductions. because fr

pero lo que sigue inquietando a algunos demcratas, como tim kaine, es que hasta ahora no se sabe sobrebatir. se opone, dice, a las opciones que estn sobre la mesa. s/sen. tim kaine, (d-va) "una propuesta es la de la cmara de representantes que va a causar 25 millones de gente a perder su cobertura. otra es eliminar obamacare inmediatamente y 32 millones se quedaran sin cobertura". el voto da luz verde a un debate formal pero no afecta la ley de salud asequible por el momento. s/randy serrano aunque el voto de hoy seÑala que hay movimiento sobre el tema no quiere decir que obamacare vaya a morir. todo depender del debate y de las enmiendas especficas que los senadores pongan sobre la mesa. top vo cesar --- beneficiarios del "tps" podran aplicar para la residencia permanente a partir del da de hoy, esto tras un fallo de la corte federal de apelaciones hace ya 4 meses --- --- segn el dictamen, quienes esten amparados por el tps, y este casados con un ciudadano americano o tengan hijos legales nacidos en el pas mayores de 21 aÑos podran aplicar para este beneficio sin abandonar el pais---

senator kaine pretty specific, calling this collusion, treason. what might donald trump jr. face legally here if anything? >> it's a bit of an overstatement given what we know now. but that should not provide any comfort to donald trump jr. we have spoking gun evidence of collusion. the way that collusion becomes a crime is under federal election law if you coordinate spending, campaign contributions with a foreign national, that's a federal crime. or if you solicit a contribution from a foreign national, that's a federal crime. a contribution doesn't have to be cash money. it could also be some kind of material aid like opposition research. with this tweet storm this morning trump jr. exposes himself to federal criminal liability. >> because to you it clearly reads as if he was soliciting a contribution. >> he said "i love it," i love this information that's damaging about hillary. that's a thing of value, a term of art under the statue. opposition research counts as a thing of value, which makes it a contribution, which makes it illegal for trump jr. to solicit it. >> to b

i'm going to run the most efficient, ruthless, campaign to dethrown tim kaine from the united statesate. >> in declaring his 2018 candidacy so early, he's breaking an unwritten party rule to wait until after november to keep the focus of the race underway as they run for governor. >> that's going to displease a lot of people in the republican party who understand that he has a very tough campaign to win for governor this year. and all the focus in virginia has to be on the gubernatorial race. >> the supporter is thrilled with his decision and don't think it will hurt the candidates. >> they're two different races and one can compliment the other. >> his strong showing, shows as a strong base to build on in a senate race. the base that shared his art support for the >> they're not going to let the establishment take back the party, that they once controlled our party and they're not going away. >> from political analyst said stuart may be over estimating his strength that may have topped out in last month's primary. >> we've already seen in the primary, of course, and his antiestablis

senator kaine's office says nothing has been proven yesterday. i'm looking at this, madison.ring where is it all going? obviously you have democrats, you know, sensing blood here and going all the way saying this is a sign that if donald trump jr. lied about one thing, he lied about lots of other things or left out a lot of other things. what to you think is happening now? >> right. i think when we look specifically at the accusation of potentially donald trump jr.'s actions rising to be treason, all we have to do is look at the relevant stat sheet here. 18 usc 2381. his actions don't fall under that statute. for something to be treason, you require with someone with allegiance to the united states levies war against the united states or aids the enemy. that didn't happen here. >> neil: i'm hearing that, marjorie. now you expect republicans to work with you or republicans and democrats to work together on healthcare. that's not a great way to start the negotiating ball rolling, right? >> party politics are not what they were in the past. you're seeing a lot of divide within t

the likes of tim kaine out there this potentially could be treason. we heard this as well from a number of democratic strategists. is the media running away with this in a way that is perhaps not healthy? >> some democrats are clearly getting overheated. it's a real story. you notice the president didn't call it fake news at the news conference in paris, because it has been confirm by don, jr.'s own account and emails that were made public. but look, when the president took a little jab, wouldn't say blast the media, press is making too much of this, the facts of the meeting are newsworthy because it was with russians, with a russian lawyer, but at the same time, trish, the press is now asking all kinds of other questions, what about jared kushner, was this treason? did the president himself know about it? taking facts, going on the facts to speculation is right what the media often does. trish: because they want to solve for a crime as alan dershowitz pointed out to me. let me share an excerpt with my interview from him, the very liberal law professo

virginia's tim kaine went further. perjury. false statements.n potentially treason. >> republicans were troubled too. new york's lee zeldin tweeted that meeting is a big no no. the most problematic thing received thus far. the trump campaign should have reported the encounter to the fbi right away. >> have an e-mail. suggesting the government wants to help the trump campaign you. have a response from don jr. saying i love it. trump jr. insist he's had to listen if the russian lawyer had info about an opponent. i asked florida's marco rubio who ran for president himself last year, what he would have done. >> i would be suspicious. i am anti-putin. i would be suspicious. >> would you report it to the authorities? >> i think i would have. >> the trump team changing stories about who they met with and when have left few republicans welling to go to bat for them on russia. oklahoma's jim inhof fichltz one of them. >> you guys, trying to spend every breathing moment trying to destroy trump. you know. >> vice president pence was here on capitol hill to

senator kaine, we'll start with you. >> awesome, elaine. i have a great answer for this.nd here it is. donald trump has called mexicans

he's running against tim kaine. senator kaine's office responded by saying stewart is more focused on name calling than improving virginians' lives. >>> the race for governor of maryland, sanders says -- >> we need more than ever at the statewide level, a p very, very different kind of leadership. >> jealous will face a crowded field of democrats looking to unseat larry hogan. it includes p rushern baker, richard mat lynn owe and attorney james shea and state department official alex ross and ralph javy. >>> prosecutors are moving ahead against university of maryland student but don't have enough evidence to charge him with a hate a grand jury indicted sean urbanski saying he stabbed and killed richard collins iii in may. he was expected to graduate from bowie state days later. the state's attorney for prince george's county is still investigating the motive. >>> indictments were also announced in the double murder of two high school students. those murders shocked the local community. three men, edgar garcia, roger

. >> tim kaine of west virginia said that donald trump's ideas are simply treasonous. do you worry that you're playing into donald trump's hands that way? >> no, i believe we're spending our time fighting this health dare bill where we're resonating with average voters and average workers and we've been spending time putting together our better deal which we announced today. those are our two big focuses. obviously russia is in the news. we want mueller to be able to pursue and our committees to be able to pursue their investigations unimpeded, but our focus is on health care and now on the economic well-being of the working family, a better deal for the working family. >> you say your focus and on health care, but i know there are congressional democrats who for months have wanted to introduce with a major push fixes to obamacare to make that the democratic alternative to trumpcare, but a lot of them complain that democratic leadership won't let them do that. >> well, i don't know which leadership you're talking about. we have offered on the floor, blocked by the repu

one of the most interesting i heard today was in talking to virginia senator tim kaine.ow he told us a story we hadn't heard before about his first day back in the senate after losing the vice president see in the 2016 election. kaine tells me when he was approached by another senator -- the ma and who lost the presidency in 2008. listen to this. >> mccain kind of seeks me out and comes and finds me and says tim, there's only one person in this body right now hoop understands the way you're feeling and that's me. there's other people who have run in the primaries, et cetera, but beingn national ticket and falling short at least in the senate right now it's just you and me and we know how it feels and he said and my advice to you is just throw yourself back into your work. and so i heeded john's advice. >> reporter: it's no secret the politicians have been at logger heads the past six months especially today was a reminder and although under circumstances that no one would want there's a reason they call the united states the most exclusive club in the world. >> i'll tell

president's son to appear before congress while hillary clinton's former running mate, senator tim kaine, said trump jr. may have even committed treason. i'll talk with senator richard blumenthal. the white house is clearly on the defensive right now over this truly stunning revelation by donald trump jr. let's begin with our senior white house correspondent jim acosta. jim, take us through the e-mails and the president's rather subdued reaction. >> they are not loving it over here at the white house, wolf. the president defended his son today not in a tweet but in a sober statement read by the white house. aides to the president say he is frustrated with the russia story, but today he only has his eldest son to blame. the e-mails are astonishing. released by the president's own son, donald trump jr., the messages reveal top level officials with the trump campaign met with a russian lawyer, who an intermediary suggested was offering support from the kremlin. the e-mails first reported by the "new york times" promised, quote, very high level and sensitive information that would incriminat

. >> let me ask you we heard from senator tim kaine today, used strong language, in fact, went so far to use the language treason. do you think that's a little strong, and do you think that what donald trump junior is accused of doing could get him into some legal trouble? >> i think serious ramifications from the emails that were sent. almost death mental to some of their arguments that they're trying to make, that there was no cohesion, there was nothing that was going on between russia and folks within their campaign. so, you know, look, i think we let the process transpire, we need to let the special council, special council muller go through that process, and figure out exactly what is happening, and i think that is what the american people want to hear, and they deserve to hear. >> look, along the way we've heard quite a bit about many people in the administration in the government, saying look the president is new at this, he is not a politician, hasn't been on this path before. when you see some of the actions that that donald trump junior took here, part of me thinks okay, th

something else republicans have often supported which is reinsurance, proposed by tom carper and tim kaine. and claire mccaskill has proposed something in the bare counties. b-a-r-e. you can -- if you can't get insurance in those counties, you can get the same kind of health insurance we get. then we're going to look at broader things. single payer -- >> that's on the table? >> sure. many things are on the table. medicare for people above 55 is on the table. a buy-in to medicare is on the table. a buy-in to medicaid is on the table. on a broader way, we'll look at them. our republican colleagues have said, even mitch mcconnell alluded to the fact that should their bill fail, they'll work with us on these first stabilization things. then democrats and republicans who have different ideas should sit down and talk about how we can improve the system. the one thing we insist on, we not do what they did. ten republicans. four republicans in a room, not even including us. regular order. hearings. committees. go will you the process. on this agenda, we are going to really shake things up. and we'

. >> reporter: hillary clinton's running mate virginia's tim kaine went even further. >> this is moving into perjury, false statement, and even into potentially treason. >> reporter: republicans were troubled, too. new york's lee zeldin tweeted, "that meeting is a big no-no." >> this is the most problematic thing i've seen thus far. >> reporter: south carolina's lindsey graham said the trump campaign should have reported the encounter to the f.b.i. right away. >> you have an e-mail suggesting that the russian government wants the help the trump campaign. you have a response from don, jr., saying, "i love it." >> reporter: trump, jr., says he had to listen if the russian lawyer had info about an opponent. i asked florida's marco rubio who ran for president himself last year what he would have done? >> i would be very suspicious because i'm very anti-putin. i would be very suspicious of them. >> reporter: would you report it to the authorities? >> i think i would have. >> reporter: the trump team's changing stories about who they met with and when have left few republicans willing to go t
